Created to Be Happy ~ Then Why Aren't I?

Today's one of those days when I watched Loyola Press' retreat and had to laugh - I don't feel too happy, yet I'm told I was created to be happy. If "happy" perhaps is the wrong word, then I, at least, should be grateful for what God has given to me. I am grateful - I think. Most of the time.

We women, we moms, are sure made up of many different emotions. Life affects us so differently than it does men. Right this very moment I can't find a whole lot of beauty in my house. In fact, I'm pretty ticked at my men for what they have not done here which they should have done. And I am so tired of reminding, cajoling, yelling. It's just not worth it. Why does it have to be this way? If I'm created to be happy, why aren't I? Why do I seem to have to fight for happiness?

I feel like setting up a poll: Who's happy out there right now? I sincerely hope most of you are. Maybe some of it can rub off on me.

Not an upbeat post, I'm afraid. But sometimes life just isn't too upbeat.
